ton TO the HERALD. Mr. Neidig is u Greenbacker

tions held by the new editor In private CONVEX
sation we found Mr. Neidig sound on many public
questions and very Intelligent lie thinks the
new editor is nearly Greeubaczer and we think
he is a good progressive Republican. MIR. Neidig,
while on general principles is opposed to voting
bonds would favor accepting the proposition OF
the Rock Island Railroad.
Mr.. jackson, an intelligent farmer who resides
u few miles this side OF Long Island, spent last
sunday in PhIllipsburg lie informed represent
alive of the HERALD that near his place have been
found. imbeded in the sand, the fossil remains Of
elephants, rhiuoceroses. and other animals known
only to be natives of the torrid zone. The bones
are there in great numbers and have been sent TO
several eastern colleges. NaturaIists have pro
uouuced them 70 be the remains of animals living
only near the equator. How did they get there is
the question liz. Jackson says it is quite evident
that they have been carried by water and deposited
where they are found, but they could not have
drifted very far. some scientists hold that the
earth topples over once in 100000 TO $4,000
years, bringing the poles where the equator nov is
and the equator where the poles are. They say
that the earth is gradually hattauing al the pol
and growing larger around the centre east and
west and that in time it swings around and &c adj
justs itself. When it does this, continents are
submerged and dry land appears where lakes and
oceans now are. That is the way they account for
finding, in the extreme uortn Of the bones Of
animals natives of the ,1rrid zone, and Tie fossil
remains Of Polar bearz seals and other Eisii-
zoue-auiInals, near the equator. We believe they
say there is no danger OF Ule earth twisting around
again Tor several thousand years yet.
